ABOUT US

Who is the International Cesarean Awareness Network?

ICAN aims to sustain a community of peers that can truly change each other’s lives for the better, spread accountability where it is due, and demonstrate that sometimes healing our trauma can inspire a fight for change to protect those who come after us.
